It only was a tender child, So full of life-yet meek and mild With all his life yet still ahead- That was yesterday--Now he's dead! It only was a little gun, Scare some folks and make them run After all they were unkind, This will help put them in line! It only was a prayer in school, Until 'twas stopped by unwise fools "We can't be mixing church and state," And so they taught us God to hate. It only was a Nation blest, Founded on God's Rigtheousness Now blasted by the A.C.L.U., Crud to uphold, persue! We owe more to our Children- And so the Violence must stop! Let's all pray for our Nation Lest to the depths we drop Children are our Heritage Guns misused deny, Let's uphold True righteousness PRAY ON, Our battle cry! < !signature--> "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- [This message has been edited by deleeme (edited 04-14-2000).] |

AMEN, PUT GOD BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS!! When I was growing up, we had a third or fourth grade teacher that gave "extra points" for memorizing bible verses. Guess what, 44 yrs. later, I still remember those scriptures. Praise the Lord for extra points!! As our teacher instilled within our little brains the word of God,we grew in understanding. She fed some before us and after us, that may otherwise not have exposure to the Word of God. Marcy [This message has been edited by Alle'cram (edited 04-14-2000).] |

David: Perfectly said. Put God back in the schools is surely the answer. As usual, you have created another poem that touches the heart and wakens our spirits. Ellie 02 |

With the children of today your either for them, or against them, there is no middle ground They are truly ten foot tall and Bullet proof so they think , we have to use what God has given us.. and hope in their own time they will follow the path... as we followed our path to Him.. But we can not expect them to reach the path or ever find the path unless we lead by example And understand the rewards and the sorrows that comes from what God has given us, a mind to make Choices.. We can't reach them with bullets flying on the streets where they live. We can't reach them if the school's they attend are bullet ridden and blood stained, they are frighted, they feel as if only the strong survive and the only strength they know is that of Brute Strength... Not of His love and compassion I agree with you David God is the solution to all violence!...So I like the kids, am armed and ready for action! The only Difference is I have the greatest weapon man has ever known. The love of God who hears my words no matter where it is I am! Lets all help with a solution and send our message loud and clear, Our Father gave us a voice, a mind and a heart, He sent out his disciples amongst men, to share His gift of True Love and Peace Let the White Doves Fly on Washington DC May 14th, 2000.. Peace To you, Tori Please Submit your heart felt poem and join in with me, and be One of A Million.... its a start.

Wonderful piece of work, david! so true, and yet, what are we to do? Pray, pray, pray...and teach our children what life is really all about, not what everyone else says it's about! God bless you all. :-) -debbie- |
